Snow Day

Today the school is closed but that does not mean we are going to stop learning.

Today's lesson is to find out how high you can build a snowman.

You need to put on your coat and gloves, get outside and experiment with building in the snow. Mr Prosser is going to try this as well, can you build a snowman taller than Mr Prosser's?

 Remember to wrap up warm and if you can take a picture, fantastic!

4. What is the temperature on an Island?
